Re: debian-alsa bug?

Hi 
i'm trying to use alsa (alsa - alsa-base package) as my sound driver on
a Dell Inspiron 8600, but nothing works. I've even compiled a new kernel
2.6.9, hoping that it would mysteriously fix the bug. When i run
alsaconf it seems to be just fine, but i don't get any sound from any
sound applications. And if I run /etc/init.d/alsa start, then it says it
can't find any sound cards. (below is all the detail)

anyone have a clue what i could do to fix the problem?
Several persons with Dell computer (and I), had this problem and solved 
it by adding 'pci=noacpi' to the kernel at the (LILO|GRUB) prompt.
Perhaps it will work for you too.

Dear all,

I am trying to install a dual partition with linux and xp on my 
recently bought toshiba satellita 2435/S255, 2.4P4, 512. I have 
unsuccessfully tried to boot red hat and knoppix (they both die very 
early on in the process). All attempts to fiddle around with options 
for these two systems  have failed too.


Did you try to use the nopcmcia option with knoppix.
With my Dell Latitude I had some troubles with this, but when I 
installed Debian, the PCMCIA worked fine.

Re: Acer Travelmate 290 & Standby/Suspend to disk ?

Hello,

my name is Sebastian and I am new to this list. Since yesterday I am 
the proud owner of a Acer Travelmate 291LCi-M10. I installed Debian on 
it, and although I had informed myself prior at tuxmobile.org, I was 
surprised that nearly everything worked right out of the box.

I had to install several "external" modules by myself, namely 
ndiswrapper (for   Intel 2100 W-Lan) and sl-modem (for build in 
software modem).
, but even that worked without any problems.

The only things that didn´ t work out of the box are the accelerated 
ati drivers for the Ati Mobility 9600 M10 (RV350) and the 
standby/suspend/hibernate modes. And thats why I´m writing in here now.

I tried most drivers on the web, namely the ati/radeon drivers shipped 
with the debian XFree86 4.3.0 packages, the ones from the ATI Homepage 
(fglx or s.th. like that) and the DRI development drivers. Each of 
them worked, but none of them made the 3d acceleration work. (I did 
this on several desktop PCs alredy, so I know the procedure.) Tuxracer 
and glxgears run at the same fps. But therefore (if using non-std. 
drivers) the tv-out and crt-out didn´ t work anymore, or the test mode 
console stopped working.

And the suspend states don´t work although, even the normal ones (S1) 
don´ t do. The laptop enters sleep mode, but isn´ t able to resume. It 
stops after the framebuffer message in the reactivation process and 
hangs. hibernation even didn´ t start.

Btw, did I mention I tried both kernels 2.6 and 2.4 ? Well, since 2.6 
works better with anything else, I will stick to that.

Well, I hope anyone reads this and can help me. Any help or comment is 
very welcome.

With best regards,
Sebastian


Hello,

I'll just try to you about ati problem.
I had a similar problem, and solved it by :
1 - adding the AGP module specific to my computer.
   lspci | grep -i agp
  On my computer it prints '00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845 845 
(Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04)'
  Then use modconf to insert the corresponding module (intel_agp for me)
  You now will have agpgart and the specific module shown by lsmod.
2 - You will have to un/reload the radeon module for it use the agp module
3 - Restart X, and it should be OK

HTH.
